REVIEW:102713

Michael Pyne committed changes in [kdelibs/frameworks] kdeui/widgets/kcharselect.cpp:

kcharselect: Improved precondition checking.

Apparently bug 235020 (crash in KCharSelect) is still around even in
kdelibs 4.7.0.

Harald Sitter had noted in comment 46 to that bug that the QModelIndex
should be checked before it is used, and the int type of pos means it
could overflow to be negative. Neither condition is checked for yet, so
check for them now.

Hopefully we really fix bug 235020 (or at least reduce severity away
from being a crasher).

This commit is for what will become kdelibs 5.

.

Dario Freddi committed changes in [kde-workspace] /daemon:

Removing Disable Desktop Effects in 4.8.

Besides the fact this feature has never worked correctly, Martin confirmed it is
no longer useful, but instead harmful, for how compositing is handled in 4.8+.

Dario Freddi committed changes in [kde-workspace] /daemon:

Handle timeout resets in a 2-stage way

Sebastian Trueg committed changes in [kde-runtime] /services/storage:

Make sure all commands are finished before shutting down.

This fixes a potential crash when the DMS model is deleted while
another thread is still working on some command.

Albert Astals Cid committed changes in [kde-runtime] khelpcenter/toc.cpp:

Fix first sect link not working


FIXED-IN: 4.7.2
David any reason why you took this out?

(cherry picked from commit 8b000b91c928cae3cb5169826dc98611ae80f10e)

Dawit Alemayehu committed changes in [kdelibs/KDE/4.7] /http:

Make sure HTTP authentication is properly cached in persistent storage whenever
the user has checked the 'Remember password' checkbox in the password dialog.

This commit correctly addresses the issue reported in
https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/102729/.

Christoph Feck committed changes in [kdelibs/KDE/4.7] kdeui/itemviews/kwidgetitemdelegate.cpp:

Fix crash when no model has been set (yet)

In the case a view is shown before its model has been set,
QAbstractItemView internally uses an "empty" model. Instead of
connecting to the empty model, we check for the null pointer.


FIXED-IN: 4.7.2

Dawit Alemayehu committed changes in [kde-baseapps] konqueror/settings/kio/kcookiespolicies.cpp:

Sort the cookie policy list box in ascending order.


FIXED-IN: 4.7.2

Sebastian Trueg committed changes in [nepomuk-core] libnepomukcore/query/querybuilderdata_p.h:

Convert search excerpt method input to utf8.

Virtuoso's bif:search_excerpt does not understand unicode character,
thus the input has to be converted to utf8.
Hopefully this will be done automatically in a future version of
Virtuoso.

Dario Freddi committed changes in [kde-workspace] /:

Move handling of the OSD widget from the applet to the daemon. This also allow us to control it properly

Dario Freddi committed changes in [kde-workspace] powerdevil/daemon/powerdevilcore.cpp:

Move the activity simulation AFTER removing idle timeouts. Otherwise, timeouts might be
triggered out when the actions are still being unloaded, and hence still listening to them.

Ralf Jung committed changes in [kde-workspace] kcontrol/standard_actions/standard_actions_module.cpp:

standard shortcuts KCM: Hide 'Global' column, and give the shortcut group a name

(cherry picked from commit 01ea7ad7f2a97924f4b6ee41adde01eef27b6e8b)

REVIEW: 102703
FIXED-IN: 4.7.3

Dario Freddi committed changes in [kde-workspace] powerdevil/daemon/backends/upower/backlight_helper_actions.actions:

The system should always be able to fetch brightness. For this reason, allow
this action to be performed even on inactive consoles - after all, it's anything
but harmful.

Note this depends on KAuth's 96cafc57a6f2faf3c18f087b15d72aca56bd4895 in KDE 4.7
to work properly.


FIXED-IN: 4.7.2

David Faure committed changes in [kdelibs/KDE/4.7] kioslave/http/http.cpp:

Use HTML escaping on texts that come from the website

Interestingly enough, this is yet another use case for moving Qt::escape
to QtCore, which I made a merge request for.

Dan Vratil committed changes in [akonadi-google] /:

Wait for all events to be fetched before calling itemsRetrieved() (fixes bug#282509)

Items in Calendar resource are queued in a list until GAM emits
requestFinished() signal (when last page of feed is retrieved) and
then commits the whole list at once (using itemsRetrieved() or
itemsRetrievedIncremental()).

If this appears to work as expected, it should be implemented in other
resources as well to prevent crashes like in bug #282509 and #282799.

Laurent Montel committed changes in [kdepim] /ksieveui:

Fix Bug 280568 - Kontact/KMail crashes when closing the Sieve dialog

When we call kill() we send a signal result() and result remove job in mJobs
=> list of mJobs is not good after that.
So when we close dialog we disconnect signal before to call kill and mJobs is clear at the end of function

FIXED-IN: 4.7.2

Dan Vratil committed changes in [akonadi-google] libkgoogle/services/calendar.cpp:

Fix creating events in Google calendar (bug #282705)

"when" field in event JSON data must be a list, not a field, otherwise
Google won't accept it and automatically sets event start to current time.

Allen Winter committed changes in [kdepimlibs] /:

Soren Harward committed changes in [amarok] /:

Overhaul of Automated Playlist Generator algorithm

Completely rewrote the ConstraintSolver to use a genetic algorithm
rather than simulated annealing. This trades off some speed for a vast
reduction in the amount of code needed to write individual constraints,
and makes the whole component less prone to crashing.

Lamarque Souza committed changes in [networkmanagement/nm09] /:

Ilia Kats committed changes in [networkmanagement/nm09] /:

Improve connection sorting

Previously, sorting was done by the plasmoid in a very simple way. newly
added activatables were not being sorted at all. But since we already
have a sorted list on the session bus which resorts every time an activatable
is added, we can just use that.

Eli MacKenzie committed changes in [konversation] /:

Changed method of remember/marker line tracking.

Qt 4.7.4 introduces a change to the handling of
QTextBlock::userState that makes it unusable for the purposes of
tracking which block represents a marker or remember line. Previous
versions of Qt also changed or otherwise corrupted the userState
value causing the loss of synchronization with the data held in the
IRCView itself. Blocks are now tracked via the userData field, which
was unmolested in the change made to QTextDocument.

Warning: this commit introduces a large volume of debugging output.

For more information about the Qt change, see QTBUG-20916.

Daniele E. Domenichelli committed changes in [telepathy-filetransfer-handler] /:

Handle other states in incoming file transfer

Also set better notification messages.
This commit plus the previous commits make the notifications
acceptables, therefore I'm closing bug #282710 (better notifications)

Mehrdad Momeny committed changes in [choqok] choqok/systrayicon.cpp:

Hide Choqok icon from systray, when there's no new dent

Alex Fiestas committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/kopete/kopete/systemtray.cpp:

Only show kopete in systray if something is happening

As far as I know kopete has no maintainer and since this
is how all KDE applications should behave at least when
running in our workspace I'm feeling confident enough to
do the commit without reviewboard.

Please, if I'm wrong revert the commit and I will send
the patch to reviewboard.

Utilities

Michel Ludwig committed changes in [kile/livepreview] /:

Avoid crashes due to an event loop being executed while code in some tool class is running

It must be ensured that no event loop is started whenever some tool operation is running. This
includes running code inside the tool classes!

The reason for that is that an event loop might trigger the deletion a tool object for which code
is currently executed, for instance with the 'stopLivePreview' method.
An event loop is executed, for example, within the 'documentSave' method of KatePart. Although the event
loop doesn't process user events, the document modification timer might still be triggered in such
an event loop and 'stopLivePreview' will be called. Now, no document saving is performed inside tool
classes anymore (including the tool manager).

Raphael Kubo da Costa committed changes in [ark] /:

Kill process when no cancel option exists for a cli tool.

Some cli programs (such as zipinfo) do not have an option to cancel the
extraction when a file already exists. In this case, we resorted to
autoskipping, which is not really the same thing.

When a program does not have the cancel option, we now resort to closing
it manually.

Patch by Theofilos Intzoglou, thanks a lot!
